Been chasing a problem with my Husky 350 for a while now and it finally came to the point where it refuses to work. I've read most of the old posts here and looked through all the usual suspects with no resolution. I would start and run for about five seconds and stall, wouldn't restart without loosening the gas cap but there is no tank vent on this saw as some of the threads talk about. So I looked under the top plate of the carb and after wiping some crud off the top of the diaphragm I noticed one spot starting to wet out again. Wipe it again and see a small hole. It's fixed for the moment with just a drop of hot melt glue and it runs fine again but it's obviously time for a carb rebuild on this thing, though it would be funny to see just how long the hot melt glue might hold.
From reading the threads here there seam to be several incarnations of the same model number "350" and I'm just wondering if there is a way to tell which carb I have without taking it apart to find a name and numbers where ever they might be buried? Maybe from the serial number on the data plate? All I can tell about it now is that the diaphragm plate has the word "china" stamped in it. (how disappointing).
While I'm at it, I also have an old Homelite Super 2 that I want to rebuild the carb on and have the same question. Most of the kits I see are Walbro. The carb plate is stamped with Homelite & tech something but I'm not sure if it is Homelite manufactured or otherwise.
Thanks for any help.
